I love surfing the web.  I love reading websites about my favorite motorsports.  So where do I like to go?  I'm glad you asked....

Disclaimer:  nascar fans and open wheel fans do not necessarily mix well.  Don't feel offended if you are a nascar fan and the open wheelers (on their websites) crack jokes about the "cabbies" "nascrap" etc.  Similarly, open wheelers, don't be offended if nascar fans (on their websites) don't acknowledge that you even exist (Indy 500, what's that?  Formula 1?).  Those of us who like both will try to form a support group.  Probably at some local bar.  Which given that most gearheads are men, probably means it will be a Hooters (rolling of eyes).  Well, at least they support a lot of motorports, and I do like hot wings...

Start here:

http://www.jayski.com/  - has everything - all the latest nascar rumors, links newspaper articles.  I swear he has the entire garage area and all the shops bugged.  He always seems to know it first.  Or runs a close second.

http://www.nascar.com/ - the official site complete with articles, statistics and  links to tracks.

 

Entertaining and thought provoking:

www.homepage.mac.com/fingerprintinc8/blogwavestudio -  Blog which is part Dale Jr./ part politics/ part commentary.  Completely worth the read.  Need a laugh - try an unofficial race report.  Links on site to lenses on Formula One and Dale Jr.
